Indeed, the same problem was had during the fight for the strana van. Rocs creations were undergunned. DO not go out underguned. If you can put weapons on it PUT WEAPONS ON IT, don't shirk your destructive potential if you have shorter ranged weapons CHARGE, until they are in range they are useless.

i think this a deep and meeningful lesson that can be applied to all forms of brikwars.

Yeah RoC, what baffles me is that you don't cover your ships in weaponry. They have like big flat open areas all over them yet only puny gun turrets. Even my Corvette has more firepower than that mothership thing you built.

@Strana & Fighter DefensesYeah the only solutions you have for anti-fighter defense on mother ships are either pay to make the weapons custom and have greater range, or just put them all over the ship. My Corvette which is tailored for anti-capitol ship duty, has 13 weapon emplacements, but 9 of them are meant for use against enemy fighters, and aren't strong enough to do much damage against big ships. (Though the main turret and the missiles could probably do surface damage or destroy exterior components.) The point is you gotta put them on all sides of your ship to protect against attacks from all angles.

Yeah, I keep falling for astetics over firepower when I build my ships. My cruiser is still pretty unfinished, I had to complete her in time for the game. If anyone noticed the guns on the destroyer were a bit bigger, but I didn't have the time to switch them over. The final product will be much better.

If you look at the hodge podge carefully it is dotted with anti fighter weapons

also the Rabid gunboat, was built for AF work with close proxamity cluster bombs 6 on each side, ie grenades, and 3 twin MK III guns and one MK IV gun

so actually i have fighter defensive weapons, thier just not as obvious

war man cool ideas, just partly impracticle, it would be awesome to do the hodgepodge before this one was actually going to have a battery of 3 twin MK III guns on either side like an old school battleship, just i ran over my weapon inch alotment and couldnt do it. as for power i actually have 2 power cores, one is in the lower reactor housing behing the backup shield generators, the other is just before the engines.
